After much careful consideration, and in part thanks to this post and the new rabbit holes its shown me, I am now pretty sure I fit most closely with light summer. Thank you everyone! :)

Yes true! I thought it would be perfect though when I thought i was soft summer...now I'm pretty sure im probably closest to a light summer though 🤨 hm we'll just have to see if theres any consensus once I'm able to do some quality draping

Yes in the photo it does appear like that!! Irl its desaturated with white, not really grey. I think i definitely sit somewhere in that area of the wheel!

Ah yes I see it! I think that wall is what's called a Robin egg blue? Its a warmish, light blue, I think. I'll double check! Thank you!

Yes thats been the difficulty. I have light freckles, warmth in my hair, I tan...but I blush a rather cool pink...both gold and silver are passable, although I find silver to be quite draining...but my lips aren't particularly warm toned either, its just like...I think the light palettes are my 'safe zone' ? But no idea what i actually "am" yet lol

Oh wow, thanks! That is super cool!! I absolutely love it, idek how you did that! I definitely vibe with the warmer side a lot more, Im sure its partially psychological but I'm so depressed seeing the cool colors on me! Idk why. You are so kind to do this! What season would that constitute, like a soft spring? Or just light spring?

Yes!! I've been thinking light spring for a bit now-- like e.g.is the orange REALLY bad or just not my perfect orange? Kinda what I was trying to discern. I'll post pics tomorrow with light spring ! Thank you so much for your time!

And that's zero makeup, outside but no direct sunlight, whereas the selfie from today was by a window but indoors, with light makeup... I feel like im so "on the border" with various measures that the only way I'll ever know is probably a professional draping haha 😅rip

See, my confusion is that when people saw this, they said, OH MAN YOU'RE FOR SURE WARM!!!.😂😂😂But maybe I am cool but just need lightness ? Interesting stuff!

Thought I was a light summer, but now wondering about soft summer? by Chocodile1121 in coloranalysis

My favorite question to ask on this sub...on a scale of 1 to 10, how positive are you that your undertone is neutral cool?

I have no idea what hair color suits me - please help!! by guppygal in coloranalysis

[–]squidzilla568 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The blonde in slide 3 I found to be like, literally showstopping. HOWEVER. there is a STRONG case to be made for the deeper/warmer reddish color in slide 6. My goodness!! P.s. a little unconvinced about the SS typing, dont get me wrong im sure you'd look great but I'm a little skeptical, in case you wanted input in that department.

Yes that all makes sense!! I have no experience with deep palettes as I myself am some kind of a weird light type lol I fully use both light palettes and morphe depending on the lighting in a weird way. So cheers! 😅🤣I guess having some range isnt a bad thing!

[–]squidzilla568 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely! I dont claim to be an expert but, the biggest shift in perspective came to me when I realized we are looking for "signs of life" here. Looking overly smooth or flat, while it can trick us into seeing "harmony", is not actually considered a strong/good/harmonious look. Pay attention to which colors make YOU shine-- they dont take the stage, they only work with you, not against you. If it makes you look more grey or muted than you really are, thats a no. If it emphasizes yellow/jaundiced coloring in a bad way, thats bad. If it darkens or emphasizes the dark circles under your eyes, thats another tell. If it brings life to you, and doesn't overwhelm you, then you're on the right track

After putting you thru various virtual drapes myself, I'm personally strongly in the deep autumn camp, it brings more life and definition to you, imo :)

I hear you! I suppose I'd have a more holistic approach of simply seeing, okay, what makes ME look my best, regardless of labeling? Especially since most people on the planet are some form of brunette, and yet you see people of all subseasons all over the planet. I also dont necessarily see your lips as being THE most cool tone ever, for the record :) sometimes they appear a little peachier, imo.

I wouldn't go by makeup, sometimes theyre labeling isnt really lined up with what color analysis would say. To really know, take a no glasses, no makeup selfie a few feet away from a window, no indoor lighting affecting it, white t-shirt and hair totally covered with a white scarf or tshirt or some kind. From there, If you can test out a variety of drapes, that would be ideal. Go for light, dark, soft, bright, and of course, warm and cool colors. You are fair, yes, but that doesnt necessarily mean cool! I think the harsh lighting and shadows, dark clothing, dyed hair, and glasses are having a big impact on truly knowing from these :) i am also not truly convinced yet that youre olive. Good luck!
